Oh, interesting. I haven't read all seven pages, so I'm sorry if this has been explained already (I'll read if you're tired of people too lazy to read seven pages. It's not 2, but it's not 22 pages, either ). But what happens if it updates and the hacks aren't compatible anymore? Isn't there a way to not install an update until I hear from others that it'll work with the hacks?

Then the hacks wouldn't work 'till an update (of the hacks). No big deal.

That's what I'm trying to avoid -a replay of the 2.5 update that left people without hacks for a few weeks.

If you're really worried about it, you can disable (without uninstalling) the hacks by removing/renaming the "auto" file in the linkfonts & linkss folders, and then restarting your Kindle.

?? I think I may not have been clear. The hacks are more desirable than the updates. I want to control installation of the updates. I want to stop auto updates so I can wait until the hacks are updated, then I'd install the update. Bottom line is I want hacks working at all times -updates can wait

Can I install the previous version of the hacks? 3.5 and 0.8? If I installed those would Amazon auto updates be prevented from auto installing? That's what I want. If so, where can I find 3.5 and 0.8? I have the version before those currently installed.

Using previous versions wouldn't change much, and anyway, I won't provide older, buggy revisions. If you want a hack that's not update-safe, use another hack. Or patch this one to throw a wrench in the unlink* scripts. (By using a custom prettyversion.txt and commenting out the prettyversion unmounting, for example).
